Getting Started with the Instrument API

The following steps are needed to use the Instrument API (IAPI) with the Tribrid-series mass spectromters.

Legal Requirements

Use of the IAPI requires a Tribrid IAPI Software License Agreement.

This document stipulates the usage and rights to which users must agree in order to use the IAPI.

Please see the following document for instructions on how to obtain the agreement and a license:

Orbitrap IAPI Online licensing guidance material

Note that the above instructions will not work on Tribrid Instrument Control Software (i.e. Tune) version 3.3 or prior. For such situations we highly recommend upgrading to a more recent version and using the above instructions. If this is not possible, please send email to:

info.IAPI at thermofisher dot com

and we will try to assist you in getting a license.

Example App

To get started using the IAPI, either reference one of the pre-built examples or the following steps:

  1. Create a .NET project in Visual Studio (or equalivant) with .NET version 4.5.2 or higher
  2. Add references to the following assemblies to your project
  3. Add the following code
using Thermo.TNG.Factory;
using Thermo.Interfaces.FusionAccess_V1;
   
static void Main(string[] args)
{
  // Should the following command fail to return, some configuration is not set up correctly
  IFusionInstrumentAccessContainer fusionAccess = Factory<IFusionInstrumentAccessContainer>.Create();
  
  // All access to the instrument is through the above interface
}
